Reminder To:

So, India is dying.

Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.

If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.

A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.

There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.

There is no plan.

Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.

Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.

We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.

This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.

We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.

People are dying.

People are dying.

People are dying and there is no plan.

More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.

My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.

Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.

But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.

She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.

So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.

If you can, donate.

Or spread the word.

Help. Please.

oh did I forget to mention that Foxfire aka fairy fire aka chimpanzee fire exists

Foxfire is not a specific type of fungi, but rather refers to bioluminescence emitted by multiple species. Fun fact: it was used to illuminate the barometer and compass needles in one of the world’s first submarines, which incidentally was named Turtle.

if you leave someone in the good omens fandom for over a week they will start listening to queen 

The cis are all like "But won't children be confused???" but every interaction I've ever had with a child who didn't know what to call me has gone verbatim exactly like this:

"Why are you wearing a dress?"

"Because I'm a girl."

"Okay. Do you like Minecraft?"

okay so hear me out i remember seeing this thing a while back where it was like a florist/tattoo artist AU but whoever would be the one for each youd switch it? (so like percy jackson as a tattoo artist and annabeth chase as a florist?) and like. namaari as a florist and raya as a tattoo artist? idk i just

update: i ran in, screamed “moriarty” really loudly and then ran out and now everyone thinks im crazy (which im not denying)

my PE teacher is playing staying alive in the gym yall know what this means….

one of my favorite things about tsoa is how patroclus and achilles kissed on the beach that day, pretended it didnt happen for three years, found out that his mom couldnt see them and then went “yeS HOMO” and jumped straight to the do

A few years ago, I went to an anatomy conference and they had a huge 3D printed vampire skull, and these thoughts have been on my mind ever since I saw the teeth up-close. 

The under-utilized potential for this bothers me a lot… like in movies… it’s just bite and done!

What happened to ritual shaving or elaborate skin engraving?

I know a lot of artists/writers follow me…. can you guys do Vampires a solid?

true or false, everyone should be making their best effort 100% of the time, it’s lazy to do otherwise.
